France’s riots put luxury fashion’s excess and exclusivity on public trial法国骚乱将奢侈时尚的过度消费和排他性置于公众审判之下。
The looting of luxury boutiques in France raises questions about fashion's role in fuelling inequality, envy and resentment through unattainable dreams of exclusivity.

Amid all of the images and videos that emerged of the riots that took place in France over the weekend, the most shocking are those of the clock tower collapsing in Limoges after its 19th-century town hall was set alight.
Close behind, however, are the shots of looters storming the gates of luxury brands like Celine, Hermes, Louis Vuitton and Saint Laurent, breaking through the plate-glass windows that act as a scrim between the outside world and the hushed interiors that cater to the ultrarich, smashing their sparkling vitrines and looting their goods.

在周末法国发生的骚乱中，涌现出大量图片和视频，其中最令人震惊的是利摩日19世纪市政厅被纵火焚烧后，钟楼倒塌的画面。
然而，紧随其后的是抢劫者冲进 Celine、Hermes、Louis Vuitton 和 Saint Laurent 等奢侈品牌的大门，砸碎了分隔外部世界和为超级富豪服务的静谧内部空间的玻璃橱窗，砸碎了闪闪发光的橱窗，抢走了他们的商品。
